Once lovers, now enemies, but their love was stronger.
Milana Levine used to be one of the most well known assassins in New York, maybe even in all of the US. Known as Demise, even her title sent a warning. She wasn't one...

Me and Marco are now back at my family house and have just finished recounting this afternoon's events.
"You did well, Milana." Nico praises, nodding his head continuously in gratification. I feel my shoulders slumping down in relief. "However, I'm not a fan of your methods." He adds.
"I won't apologise for doing things my way, Nico." I snap, crossing my legs. "Of course not, and you'll do as you wish. As our don." He announces, unenthusiastically. "And when will she be sworn in?" Marco asks curiously. "Tomorrow night. I'll make the preparations myself and make sure the whole Levine family will be there."
"Marco, can I have a moment alone with Miss Levine, please." Nico asks. Marco looks at me bitterly.
"No." He snaps.
"It's fine, Marco. Nico's harmless." I say. Marco puts his arm around my waist possessively and gives me a kiss on the cheek. "I'll be in the living room if you need me, baby."
Goddammit. This man knows no boundaries.
Nico waits for Marco to close the living room door behind him, then hastily turns to me. "There's something you should know, Milana. I found out something disturbing about your finace."
"What is it?" I question, eyes staring blankly at the man in front of me. He drags a long, slow breath. "Apparently Marco had some 'deal' with your Uncle." He explains. "So?" I question. "What do you mean so!? Isn't it obvious? Marco killed Tony!" He yells, voice detached and clinical. I shake my head and raise my eyebrows. "Nico, thats ridiculous. Where did you even hear this bullshit?"
"It's not bullshit. Tony when missing around the same time he made this deal with Marco. It can't be a coincidence." Coincidence? His voice made it anything but. Nico notices i've fallen asleep in thought. Suddenly, he pulls me around the arm.
"You know something, don't you?" He questions as I shake my head repetitively. "Nico, take your hands off me." I demand, fixing him with a cold, unforgiving look - a Don's look.
"You're hurting her." A voice announces from behind me. I turn around to see Marco leaning against the doorframe, his eyes fixed on Nico's hand.
He releases me at once.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do that. It's just that I've been on edge ever since Tony disappeared." He chuckles in spite of himself. "Don't worry about it, We'll talk later." I say. Nico hesitates for a moment but then he nods and retaliates up the stairs.
"You handled it well, Bella." Marco whispers as he walks up close to me.
Again with the nicknames.
"I should've known you were listening in." I respond, looking up at him. He leans in, getting dangerously close to me. "I have some things to do, I'll see you tomorrow, Milana." I watch him walk away and make sure he's gone for good before locking the door.
